Enjoy the Moments Everyone! Thank you SO much for inspiring me and for all your support! I truly appreciate each one of you!!!

I love it, love it, love it. As a newbie I have been struggling with colour combinations. I seem to spend more time trying to pick co-ordinating papers than actually making the card. This will save me heaps of time. Thanks Megan Elizabeth.

I am in awe! What a fantastic idea!!!! This will make things much easier when cutting out layers – I am so excited!!! This is going to open a whole new world of possiblities in the paper craft industry. This was certainly a God given idea and I am praying He blesses you beyond what you could imagine. I love all you do at ARS – Thank you. Congratulations on this new venture!

Can’t wait to test this paper out. Shipping was rather expensive and only one shipping method to choose from, but then again this is your baby and I know you are excited and wanted to get this out to us before it hits the retail stores. Thanks for doing this.

How cool is that! I live full-time in an RV, so this is wonderful for me! Time-saving, space-saving, plus all the coordinating colors already in one spot! I absolutely LOVE your idea! Way to go Megan! Thank you!

What a great idea, can’t wait till they are available. Do you think there will ever be a 6×12″ pack? I only have the cricut create right now, if not it’s no bother I can just trim the 12×12″ sheet down. Again awesome idea. Hugs, Melissa D

Looks very exciting and what a great solution to the problem of constantly switching back and forth with sheets of paper! Megan, you are a genius! I’ll bet someone else wished they’d thought of it ,> Congrats on this new project, may all go well with you!

WOW!!!THIS IS GREAT. MY COLOR WHEEL WAS GOOD WHILE IT LASTED BUT NOW NO MORE SEARCHING FOR THE RIGHT COLOR COMBOS. COLOR MATES WILL EVEN ALLOW MY OWN PAPER TO BE ADDED JUST IN CASE I NEED SOME MORE UMP…THANKS

Love, love love this! What a great idea. You’ve taken all the thinking out of it and now we can zip through projects even quicker. That’s my biggest hang up is picking out the paper to cut for different images. Thank you for doing this!

The Paper Layerz product looks very interesting. I can see that they would be fantastic to bring to a crop. I am always looking for ways to pack more stuff in less space when I go to a day long crop or even my monthly card club. I will have to try this when it is available.

That is a great concept. You have a winner. I ordered both packs. Looking forward to yours with all the colors on one page. It is like having an Imagine on the Expression. Congratulations and much success with that idea.

Oh my Gawd! Love this, love this, lobe this! Going to order mine, can I get special delivery for this afternoon? Couldn’t wait for today, went to bed last night with it on my mind and when my alarm went off this morning, headed straight to my computer. Love you Megan. One question…did you go to “design school”? Your talent seems never ending, wish we were related, then maybe I’d have a piece of that talent!

I have been waiting for this and here it is you are owsome Megan I am odering some right now I can’t wait for your paper to be out love the Idea I have a hard time choosing my matching paper and now I don’t have to stress Thank you so much.KUDOS to you.Hugs you go girl lol.

Great idea! Can’t wait to try it. I’m new to Cricuts though and only have the Imagine. I watched your demo video with the cute porcupine. I’m curious how that would be done with the Imagine. Would love to see a demo. Thanks for all your great inspiration!

Love the new cardstock! I work in the library and we have a Cricut machine that our patrons can use. This will be a great way to save on paper and help beginner scrappers to get great results with the effortless coordination! Thank you!

I am now just getting to know my Cricut Expressions and I am so excited for You and for me. This paper sounds like the perfect idea for us crafter WANNABEES! Love the idea of coordinated papers. It’s like taking the work out of going through piles of papers-here it is -right at the tip of my fingers. So HAPPY for you! Blessings.

Hey Megan, I actually just started following your posts a couple of days ago and I am so excited so see your new product! I just got my cricut about a week ago and I have already started running into the paper problem. Hopefully I can try out your paper someday! Best of luck with your new line

Great idea, and I would love to try some, both the regular CutMates as well as your creative concept sheets, but like some others I found the shipping to be a bit too high. It was more than could even be offset by the 200% discount code. I will have to keep watching for (hopefully) a free shipping offer.

This is one of the best new ideas I’ve heard in a long while. This solves two dilemmas for me: keeping all those small pieces from slipping and deciding which colors coordinate with each other. THANK YOU!!

Oh so cool. Can’t wait to get some of this paper. It will make things so much easier to cut. I can’t stop thinking off what I want to try first. I’ve done the little piece of paper thing and there. Is always a piece or two that moves this will fix that because it’s on a full sheet. Awesome idea. Way to go Megan!!

Congratulations on your new “baby”! This seems like a no-brainer idea for those of us with a Gypsy and a Cricut. Yet, only you thought of it! Your continued growth and success is no wonder, considering your talents and generosity. Thank you for all you give to us. (Selfishly, I hope you will continue to have the time to “tutor” us!)

Wow! That is genius Meagan! Love this idea and can’t wait to try it. Talk about speeding up the process of creating, you have done just that. I really look forward to a paper made especially for cutting those little designs! Thank you. Off to order!

Alright!!!! New paper. I love working with different types of paper and now you are providing what I believe will be a highly requested paper pack. I love the idea of solid on one side and nine 4×4 squares on the other. BRAVO and keep up the good work. Be blessed….

I love the new paper! Are you looking to eventually make a sticky backed paper like this? I am so glad to see God opening up doors for you to keep touching all us out here in the craft world, Thanks, & Thaks to your team.

What a great idea! I love the two sided part of it too and the fact that you do have a full sized 12 x 12 sheet to work with as well. Now, for the next step, you need to create a pack with four 6 x 6 squares on the other side of the solid color. That would make it nice for cutting out larger items.

Megan you are just unbelievable. You have so many fantastic ideas which never seen to stop. Don’t know how you do it, but hope it never stops. The paper sounds great and can’t wait to try it. Especially love that everything is coordinated for me.

Wow, I am looking forward to your new paper. My friend and I just finished a couple of weeks ago a big National School Nurses Day project using Every Day Paper Dolls. We designed 43 different dolls one respresenting each nurse in the school district. Each doll was made to look like each nurse we made them for, ie hair color and style, colors they like, accessories, etc I would send a picture but computer challenged and not sure how to attach (Unless you will accept a “Smile Box” email). Anyway, they were a great success and most of the nurses said they represented them to a tee. (We placed them on cards we got off your Card making DVD, that was also a hit because they could desplay their cards in their clinics.) Several teachers at our school asked us to make one for them using their appearance etc so we may have many more to make. My point being, I hope you will think about designing different shades of hair color with texture. We looked for different papers some with tress, leaves,scrolls, just thing that was kind of a shaded textured back ground, it makes a tremendous difference in how the hair looks, instead of just flat color. We also used color pencils to draw squizzles to enhance the texture of hair. Fun Fun, details makes all the difference. Don’t know what we will do next year but wow great fun. Looking forward to seeing the shades of skin tones as well. I think just a whole package of skin textures and hair colors together in one package would be a great and I for one would buy tons, it is so hard to find good color combinations. Have a great day and if you have good ideas for hair add them. Good luck with new paper adventure, I am sure you will be amazing and successful.

WOW you GO girl. That is fantastic and I am SO EXCITED. Can’t wait to get my hands on it. Love it that you have already prepared the perfect color coordination AND the size of the squares on the paper…… PERFECT Absolutely PERFECT. Thank you Megan. May you be blessed with health. Bev

Megan, Great idea for paper ! Thanks for the opportunity to win some now and buy some later. I trust you and Above Rubies Studio so I know the quality will be great. Looking forward to using lots of this paper in the future !

Wow Megan!! The new line of paper looks totally AWESOME! I can’t wait until it’s out. What a brilliant idea… finally something created for us diecutters by someone who really gets diecutting! Thank You! Robin

I guessed right! That is such an awesome idea, I really love the multicolored squares. Cannot wait to give ti a try! I wish you great success with this so that we will see more patterns in the future! TFS

I love the colors, and what a great idea! You never cease to amaze me in how far you have come along in your scrapbooking endeavors! I am so proud of you! I am looking forward to trying some of it! I hope I win!

Megan and the team….you just never stop amazing me (us) This is a great idea. Congrats on this adventure. Sure hope the paper makes it out West to Arizona!!!! right now…I’ll try and order some w/ ARS. Thanks sooooo much.

Can’t wait for the paper to come out. I ordered the light and the dark this morning. I have not cut any of this paper with my cricut yet but I used it for making cards and It cut better in my paper trimmer than other paper can’t wait to cut it with my cricut.

Wow,wow,wow!!! What an exciting announcement. I can’t wait to get some. It sure takes the guess work out of trying to figure out what colors to use for my layered images. The other thing I love is being able to carry less paper with my when I travel in my RV. This will be so much more convenient and take up less space. Thanks for a fabulous invention.

YOU ROCK!!!!! What a brilliant idea! This does take all the work out of trying to get all those scraps on one sheet. Your color schemes are awesome especially with it being double sided! I CAN’T WAIT to play! Thank you for all your great craftyness!

Bummed the paper is all sold out, just got back from vacation yesterday and just now had time to get on the computer to see what I all missed. Dang! Missed a great chance to try out this paper, can’t wait for it to come back in stock!

This is great especially for those who have a hard time matching coordinating colors. Sorry I missed the 1st special offer but I will definitely be waiting for the second chance. Thanks for all you do to help & encourage everyone

BRILLIANT IDEA Megan!! I can’t ever seem to cut little designs or thin cuts, even with brand new blades and mats and proper settings on my Cricut. I am sooooo excited to get my hands on your designer paper! Good for you and way to go!! God bless!

Boohoo! I tried ordering this morning but when I tried to put in the 20% discount, (ARSCUTS20) it kept telling me it wasn’t valid and wouldn’t give me the discount. I had to go to work and decided to try again this afternoon and now they’re gone. Totally bummed. Any idea when you’ll be getting more? Can’t wait! TFS! Pam D

Now that’s thinking outside the box. God bless you new venture. I love the way you are always thrifty. I love thinking up cost saving tricks too. One of my most economical…is using adhesive backed foam sheets in place of dimension dots. You are free to cut it to whatever size you need.

Congratulaions Megan Elizabeth! What a great idea1 Your paper will be great to use when we make cards and small projects. I’ve tried many times to place small pieces of paper on the cutting mat and then tried to cut out different layers only to have the small pieces of paper lift and slide around with the blade. Thank you for solving this frustrating problem for us. I’ll be watching for your paper in the stores!

Megan you are always thinking, do you get to sleep at nights? You have taken out all the quess work for us….hummm now if I could just find the perfect glue or tape that will hold my projects together. You are awesome!

Okay, help me out. I love the idea of this new paper, but what do I do with it after I’ve cut the porcupine? It’s pretty expensive to use a whole sheet of paper for one small design, so show me how to utilize the entire sheet for cutting more designs, especially when it’s getting pretty “cut out”. And I might not want to use that some sheet right now, but come back to it in two weeks. Pulling it off the mat will make it pretty “curly” even if it doesnt tear in the thinner cut-out areas. I’m really not trying to be a nay-sayer, cause I’m loving the idea of this paper, but want some constructive ideas on how I can get the most bang for my buck. Would love to see another video demonstrating these things. Thank you!

Okay, for my third message in a row. *G* Just want to say I posted my first comment after watching the video about the paper. Then I watched the video on cutting, which raised the questions in my second comment above. And NO, I am not the same Cyndi D that posted just above my two messages (now three), even though we spell our name the same way! *ROFLOL*

WOZZER!! What a great idea! Now we won’t have to waste a whole sheet of paper to get one segment and we don’t have to worry about having coordinated colors. You are so clever to come up with this idea! Congrats!

look forward to getting a pack i only have the baby bug cricut so i like the idea that there will be some papers that will be produced in 6×6 squares on the reverse side-

thanks so much for the Cricut Cutting Guide it has helped i have had many frustrating days on my cricut when i tore up more paper than die cuts produced i would love to wina pack of your paper and i do plan to order some

Can’t wait to get my hands on this paper…. You do know your stuff and we trust you I have wasting paper. Love the new stuff (Can’t wait for the DVD to come out on the stamp machine) I ordered mine…. woowee Thanks for keeping us in the loop! We love your video’s and all the help you offer us! What we do with out you!

Wow love the idea on this paper. The 4×4 squares on the back of the paper is such a great idea. Plus having a paper that will cut without having tags and other hangups sounds wonderful. Can’t wait to give this paper a try. Congratz on your new line of paper.

lOVE THE IDEA OF THE COLORED SQUARES ON BACK. BUT DID IT CUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PAPER? IT LOOKED LIKE YOU CUT THE BACKGROUND PAPER FOR THE CARD AND THE CHARACTER HAD BEEN CUT FROM THE PAPER IS IT A LAYER TO PEAL OFF
